Rudra was playing a game.
[The war against gods.]
He has been playing this game for almost 8 years.
He couldn't win no matter what till now. Now he is fighting in 23rd soul war. His charectar a soul captain in the game.
He still remember when he first started playing this game....
He was on hospital bed. He was bored. That's when a new game notification came. He download the game. And the prologue...
[500 years ago modern world got destroyed by a meteoroid. The meteoroid explodes outside of the planet. But a it's remain fall on earth. In just one day earth, water and air got infected. Total environment ruined. Everything start to melt. House broke like nothing.
And the end of the old material world what remains was hell. A soul world. A world made of spiritual energy. A world of souls. But they seem to come with marks or tattoos.
Tattoos that define themselves from other.
They are decided in some faction.
Human.
Elves.
Beastalin.
Monsters.
Barbarian.
Dwarfs.
Humans remain the same. Like human. No special powers. Except intelligence and comprehension. For that reason they are still powerful and exist.
Elevs. A part of human. Angel elves or light elves. And fallen or dark elves. Although they look like same and have a huge amount of lifespan. But they are different. Angel elves have white halo behind their head. They have attributes like like or holy or devine, purification powers. Fallen angels don't have any halo. They have attributes like dark or shadow.
Beastalin is a group of people who have marks like rabbit, fox, snake, lion, tiger, bear, cat, dog, deer, elephant, leopard, eagle, bat. They can summon their beast self. They can evolve them as they will evolve it too.
Monsters have that evolution in them. These group is a bit powerful. They have goblin, orc, ogre, lizardman, dryad, giants.
Barbarian is the weakest. They have nothing but brutal strength. And a high amount of mental strength.
Dwarfs are two types. Flame and metal. Flame have a high affinity for fire and metal have high affinity for metal. They are intelligent in working. They are a bit short than normal human about 5 ft.
But what the new world had was a new type of gate. Hidden gate. That can break anytime and soul eating monsters can come anytime. That's why they all need to work together to survive. But foolish creatures refused. Humans fall alone in strength. Everyone refused to help them at that point.
But that's when they create shrapit.
A special artifact that evolve with soul as it born with that soul's energy.
Although they were alone, they fight back. But everyone was greedy over those artifacts. That's why internal war started. ]
That was prologue.
[Now choose one faction to play the game.]
That's why he started that game. But next day he couldn't find that game on playstation.
The company vanished overnight. It was one of the reason he liked the game.
This game was inspired from reality.
20 years back a sudden hidden game started on the night of new year.
Choosen one.
Those who get choosen get to go in the game. Those who died, will die for real after 3 try. This game was a bit inspired from the real game.
In real game one need to clear the tutorial. When cleared you get karma (currency) as your accomplishments. Then you can buy a slave with karma who will fight for you.
There is some rules...
1. You can get 1 slave at one time. You can't buy another one until your previous one die.
2. Slaves will be your companion as well as your champion. You get 20% of its power and all karma as payment.
But that's not in the video game that he is playing. But these slaves are decided in races.
Yeah! Human.. barbarian..mages..elves.. beastalin.
All the same from the game. But humans are the weakest here unlike the video game. No Shrapit artifact exist in tutorial.
Currently Rudra is playing this video game in his room of the cottage. He came here to do picnic.
Currently on game....
[[
Hirysuke: his character in game.
I am a common soldier in a new world called soul world. And right now I am in the middle of the battlefield. Batels had declared war against us. And I am a common soldier without any power.
"Ra ra rara rara "
A battle cry comes from the general of the enemy. Fear and darkness goes through our side making many soldier tremble. But death is not something new to me or to these guys. But my body was of a weakling. But my brain can take this pressure easily. But then suddenly a sword goes through from behind inside my heart. I moved and see my friend raki. But i couldn't do anything. My only regret was i couldn't live happily like others in this world.
]]
"Dammit!" He crushed. This type of things is common.
[Game end.]
"Let's go! I need to pee!" He goes to bathroom and after doing his stuff, he thought of going out.
It's already 10. The sky is bright in moonlight. He should walk alone.
He opened the door and goes out to walk alone.
As he walk in the garden, he heard a muffled voice.
He didn't want to peek, but they were doing it right before the bushes.
Roby and Oria are kissing.
He looked at them for a sec. A smile appear on his face. He is happy for them. They are his friend.
So he ignore and walk away. But theis time what he saw...
His crush was kissing his best friend. His best friend who knew about him. Tat he had a crush on her..
He felt betrayed.
But a smile appear again. He looked down and then at the sky.
He walk away. Towards his room.
As he entered his room, he start to smoke. He is already 22. But unlike others he was a looser. He gave up on life long ago. He looked at his phone.
Yeah! It's that game!
Somehow! For some reason this game have given him a hope!
A false hope! He will be choosen one day. But it's already his 23rd birthday coming. That's why he can't wish for anything.
If he was powerful or have a bit more money...
Suddenly!!!!
][Congratulations!][
][Individual Rudra have been chosen to play the tutorial!][
][Be ready within next 1 hour...][
†‡†
Rudra, 22 year old man. He lived a life. A normal life. But he wasn't satisfied with it.
Why?
Cause he wasn't in trend!
But that changed!
He was doing nothing after college end. Until friends from college group made a plan to spend time in a cottage at a hill side.
He also came with them.
Only to see Mousumi. His crush. But that night he broke a bit after watching her in his best friend's arm.
But as they say, fortune comes after disaster. He got choosen for the tutorial.
][Congratulations!][
][Individual Rudra have been chosen to play the tutorial!][
][Be ready within next 1 hour...][
"What? 1 hour? What should I prepare?" He panicked immediately. He was sad, happy, excited, nurvous. All at once.
That's when he looked at his phone.
"Why not play another game? Maybe it will help!"
He said and grab the phone.
But then...
[Player is choosen detected..]
[SGS is opened..]
[Gathered sum of karma is giving to host.]
"SGS? Gathered sum of Karma? What is going on?"
Before all these can be registered inside his head another group of notifications....came.
][Gathered sum of karma: 10 million.][
][System creation function opening..][
Rudra felt nothing anymore.
....† After 40 minutes.....
"Ahh! Only 10 minutes left! What to do now? I don't feel safe going there anymore!" Rudra lay down on the bed.
He couldn't think of anything.
"10 million karma! System creation.." Rudra didn't have to say it whole. A new interface open up.

#†#†#†#†#†#†#†#†
"Hm! Interesting! Can I make any system then? Hmmm!"
Rudra started to think hard.
" A system! That will help me in the tutorial! Where is paper and pen?"
Rudra immediately find the pen on diary and grab them.
He start to write down.
Well! What I know? After tutorial I need to buy a slave. But what about tutorial? No information on internet I think. No one said anything about this tutorial. But in the game you need to choose a faction to play. If it's the same. Which one will I choose?
Elves, dwarfs, beastalin...
Ah! If I can take their powers?
Copy system! But what if it came back with limitations?
Ah! If I die in tutorial 3 times, I won't be able play the real game.
Wait a second!
Ah I know. Yeah! I need something that will copy a game Charectar from the game and send it in my place. Like a game. Yep.
After 9 minutes he created the template player system. The price was 9 million karma.
